From Nomads To Kings.....
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 2 times

By Michael P. Johnson
Other Poems by Michael P. Johnson


Who will have heard, from Heaven’s throne?

The Lord God speaks today?

If Abraham had never known

What would the world, now say?

 

Isaac would still have walked as blind

Seeking his shame, to hide

Then like the rest of all mankind

In sin, he would have died

 

Jacob, in turn, would not have heard

The mysteries of life

Without knowledge of Heaven’s word

He too; would end in strife

 

As nomads, Israel roamed the land

A people small, yet free

Till Heaven let them understand

Through them, the world would see

 

God gave His word, His love, with grace

For all the world to share

To hear, read, seek out His face

Through faith, sown everywhere

 

If Israel had beat, retreat

Had gone about their way

Would you and I have come to meet?

In churches here today

 

Eager, life’s victory song to sing

To do Her Lord God’s will

She’ll bear children beneath His wing

To raise on Zion’s Hill

 

But will the world believe it?

If truth; man won’t pursue

If foolish, they won’t receive it

What else can Rachel do?.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
